- You want to getting into precision rifle matches but you only have regular access to 100 yds for practice.... can you be competitive? In my opinion, yes you can be very competitive in long range shooting matches even if you only have access to 100 yds for practice. In the first part of thist video I give you an in depth look at the type of long range shooting drills that I like to run at 100 yds. Then in the second half of the video we'll actually go shoot another local long range match and bring you along for the journey so you can see exactly how I perform only a day after my 100 yard practice session.

You are such a throwback. You speak like someone in a video from the 80's. It's great
I agree but it’s in a good way
Very refreshing in this day and age.
Great video! Really shows how important practicing fundamentals are.
Can't wait for the algorithm to bless your channel and see you hit 1M subs, you deserve it.
Thank you for posting REALISTIC videos! So many only show perfect runs and it is discouraging when I try and have less than perfect results.
Love your channel!
The view through the scope is extremely helpful in understanding the movement of the rifle and what to expect when shooting long ranges.
I get so much information from these videos. Thanks man!
I'm not a long range shooter, but I enjoy the format of your videos and your presentation style.
That rifle seems to be living up to the manufacturer hype. Good to see that
I'm excited that companies are starting to send you products! Excited to see other options for shooting!
I voted for you to take on Backfire's long range hunting challenge
Shot my first PRS with my 16” gas gun this past weekend and this video will help a ton in preparing for the ones in the future. 👊🏼
This for sharing. It is fun and educational.
I sold my competition gun, recently. It was nice to see that boat anchor go. The buyer loved the light trigger (3 oz) with a very safe action that he couldn't get it to fail. I told him how to get around the action firing when you close the bolt with the 3 position trigger. The Winchester M70 has a safety that few others have. It is sad that most shooters only know Remington junk. The Remington safety is placed in the way when you want to fire rapidly in competition. I am now transitioning over to gas guns.
Top 3 favorite shooting channels for sure
Wow what nice videos as always.
Very cool event. Great video.
Great video, as usual. Looks like you already had a lot of good drills that prepared you for the majority of the match and, after shooting the match, now have a couple more you could add. Looking forward to seeing the long term results of the integral bipod.
All of my 1000 yard wins are the result of 100 yard practice to build a shot to shot consistency in prone sling supported position. Helped me to earn the NRA American High Power Rifleman Award in Long-Range. At any rate, yes, practice at 100 yards on the NRA MR-31 Target and once you get into the 1/2 minute arena you will have the consistency to win at 1000 yards.
Great video. Thank you
Thank you! This video was so helpful to see what it’s actually like during a competition, ESPECIALLY when things don’t go as planned at first.
What's helped me is working positional shooting at 100yds. Modern day sniper has a target and the rifle Kraft target focus on that. Essentially work on getting consistent POA/POI across standing, high kneel, low kneel, sitting, prone. It's humbling to shoot a good prone group then see how my body input causes poi shift. But I was able to practice it a few times and work on each individual position and now I'm confident in shooting sub 1moa at any position.
You for sure know what’s important to good shooting, a muscularly relaxed position that is Princess & The Pea sensitive to natural point of aim. Success with it can be measured by shooting in NRA/CMP Service Rifle Division Competition. This is my observation as a competitor and CMP-USAMU Military Rifle Instructor assisting the USAMU deliver Squad Designated Marksman Training.
competing is the only way you know where your weak points are. everyone should record their stuff if they can. you can go over and notice things you didn't see in the moment.
Good job!
BEEP…..loved the instructional content.
Great match and video!
Great video.
Hey! Quality video, appreciate the editing, excellent content, honest delivery. Do not change, just do you bud, from your newest subscriber 👊
Very impressive velocity out of that 18” barrel. I would’ve expected a 108 to dip about 100 fps lower.
Great video! Do you self a favor and get a heavy fill schmedium game changer. There is no subset off a barricade. No wobble at all!!! Changed my life!
Another Awesome video that provided a ton of useful information!
I'm just an average Joe.... but, I'd like to know what to stock up on for SHTF.... I'd love to see a video that compares (3) .223 barrel lengths (10.5, 16" and 18") shooting at 200 yards with 55gr fmj, 77gr otm, and 62 soft point..
It'd be nice to see what each barrel length would do at each target with each ammo.... targets would be ham shoulders.
The lack of a forward assist was always an indicator of a cheap rifle but it is not true anymore.
Outstanding video! Well done! Subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel friend.
I love my Fulcrum rear bag. Cant wait to grab the monolith front bag soon!
That’s for showing the good and bad shots! When in the kneeling position I think you could get more stable if you brought your right knee out and rested your right elbow on top of it. Hope that helps
The knelling position is of all positions the most difficult because it’s the one position where muscle of elbow is placed over bone of knee, which provides stability but prevents desired muscular relaxation. This is in contrast to standing, sitting, and prone positions which are all supported by bone thus making needed muscular relaxation possible.
Came here to say this. It's how I teach on the military side. Turn the toes of the firing side foot away from the target, more to a 90. Bring your non-firing knee up front closer to the wall (body will be bladed about 45 deg) Elbow on knee (ensure not bone-to-bone) and heel down flat to ground, driving recoil to the ground. I found our basic-level shooters almost double their scores by solidifying their kneeling position a bit better. Take-away = stay off the balls of the feet.
I have learned a lot and I am a old guy
I’m going to try this out asap!
Luv to see what you can do with the 22arc .
Looks like you need to remove a little fill in your bag straped to your rifle. It looks a little bulky to me. Those drills are awsome i have been doing them alot from 100-300.
Very informative videos. I've learned alot and rewatched alot of the videos because there is so much info. I don't hit the notification button for any other channels except yours. Thank you sir.
Question, you've hot some really high end gear, is that all private collection or do you own a gun shop or something?
North Georgia? What happened to the rolling wheat fields of eastern Washington state? Good video as always
You can absolutely train at the 100 yard line, but you really do need to check your drop at further distances.
Training fundamentals is probably the most important aspect of shooting.
North Georgia? Perhaps you're not all that far off from me in East TN.
👍👍👍
Look up pump pillow, helps with stability in some of those difficult unsupported positions
Poor mans accuwedge: duct tape for the rear, rubber oring for the front
Absolutely phenomenal video bro.
Ill more than likely snag one of those Griffin MK2 Ambi CONTROLS Lowers . All i use is ambi lowers . I also wanna try out Aero M4E1 New Ambi CONTROLS LOWER . M4E1 With FCD , BCM , and Geissele parts is my go too lower ..
IMO BA 223W Hanson Premium Black Series and Roscoe K9 Greenline 13.9" are my 2 favorite barrels for precision work on a budget . Roscoe K9 Series is slighly better but BA comes with Pinned LPGB . Criterion Core C.L. , Centurion MIDWEIGHT HF and Noveske HF are IMO the most accurate C.L. Barrels ive ever shot . Centurion Recce and Noveske Afghan are my favorite straight up SS Barrels . Obviously Proof barrels are probably the top dogs but i prefer BA , Roscoe , Centurion or Criterion..
That Rail with built in Bipod surs does look interesting . Definitely curious to see if that has any issues after about 10 matches or so..
I do have 2 Lightweight 6ARC Uppers . Both are Faxon Match Grade Gunner Profiles which are super LW . IMO they are built for carrying all day vs shooting all day . Prefect for LW Mini Recce or Hunting application. Faxon Match Gunner is 1.5MOA barrel or at least mine are . My personal standard for shooting accuracy when it cones to barrels is being able to go 5 for 5 on 6" plate from 100 - 300Y and 10" plate from 300 - 600Y. To me thats more than accurate enough for PRS Gas Gun . My Custom Criterion 16" 6ARC Barrel is lights out accurate .
There is a decent amount of PRS Matches in the South East . Especially around NC and SC Area . Also Florida has decent amount as well . I live right outside the DMV area in WV . I have access to pretty bad ass range that goes out to 1k.
Can you do a video or comment on modern chronos for developing ballistic data. I’ve been looking at the Garmin Xero c1 pro chrono as the latest tech, and it seems to get favorable reviews. It would be great to see how you collect data, put into ballistics calls, and use to formulate your solutions. Love your content.
Very good video and some great shooting drills. Did you move back to Georgia, since you’re last couple of videos have been back East?
Awesome video and info! Thank you sir! On the 556 Aero upper what length of gas tube and what brand of adjustable gas block? Having difficulty dialing in my 556/223 Rock River 16 inch barrel with my Silencer Co Harvester 30 cal suppressor running subsonic ammo. Will not cycle correctly!
I’m just addicted on your content!
During competition, do you use reticle on other distances or scrolling vertical elevation turret knob? Which is the best way for gas guns? Thanks
Z Dawg, is this an ancient video?
Nah it was filmed at the beginning of Feb
You're in North Ga? based on your 1000 yard shots, I thought you were in the mid west or somewhere out west.
Did you move out Idaho?
50k. Doing it!
Have I missed it already or could you show how to treat your gas gun barrels? Cleaning/ maintenance wise
Where are you located in Ga? I live here too, maybe we could get some collab content in!
Great content, during the match, how did you figure out holdovers at random distances?
If you have either an MOA or mil scale reticle you can use it to range target distance on a known size target and thereafter hold on the reticle for speedy shot. Typically you would not adjust zero because it invites error. The exception is when the shooter will hold for a lot of wind.
What do you typically use to fill in your shooting bags?
How has the Hanson barrel been suppressed since it doesn’t have an adjustable gas block?
can you use a tall monopod? You only really need one leg.
what is your thought on the Arken scope? they are REALLY affordable, but there are always tradeoffs...
I would sum up my thoughts by saying I would spend my own money on them. Yes my examples were provided by Arken but they have been solid and really impressed me.
First
.....beep...
when did you move back to short range shooting country?.... you used to be out where you could see miles?
I’m still out west. Just spent time visiting family back east and wanted to continue filming while I was there. I’ll be back to western based content very soon
@@MountainsMulletsMerica ah cool. I'm way down south texas... flat frying pan! the biggest test of skill is the wind here. They don't give out daily warnings unless it's over 40mph... geez there are some days it's hard to keep on a 4×8' sheet of plywood at 1000 yards.
Are you no longer living in the PNW?
"Beep."
This was super helpful! You have a great training plan here! I’m going to incorporate many of the drills. How the skills helped you in the match was great too.
Please burn that striped shirt. I think it gave me a seizure.
Beep!
Haha I was hoping folks would love that!
🇺🇲🫵
junk. all shots are taken unsupported from kneeling or standing from cover. if you can not shoot accurately from standing unsupported, you do not qualify.
lol
Then show us how it's done.
👍👍👍
